A 1 km long microwave link uses two antennas each having 30 dB gain. If the power transmitted by one antenna is 1 Watt 3 GHz, the power received by the other antenna is approximately
1. 98.6 μW
2. 76.8 μW
3. 63.4 μW
4. 55.2 μW

Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 63.4 μW

Concept:

The power received by the receiving antenna is given by:

\({P_r} = \;{P_t}{\rm{\;}}{G_t}{G_r}{\left( {\;\frac{{\rm{\lambda\;}}}{{4\pi r}}\;} \right)^2}\)

Where:

Pt is the power transmitted from the antenna,

Gt is the Gain of the transmitting antenna,

Gr is the Gain of the receiving antenna,

λ is the wavelength of the carrier signal,

r is the distance between the transmitting and receiving antenna.

Analysis:

The numerical gain of the antenna is

Gt = 103 = 1000.

The power density in the main beam of the antenna at a distance of R = 1000 m will be:

\({{S}_{avg}}=\frac{{{P}_{t}}{{G}_{t}}}{4\pi {{R}^{2}}}=\frac{\left( 1 \right)\left( 1000 \right)}{(4\pi {{\times 1000 )}^{2}}}=63.33 ~\mu W\)
